Heather R. Davis, 52

It is with great sadness the family of Heather Rene Davis announces her tragic and sudden passing on Oct. 12, 2025, at age 52, in her home in Myrtle Beach, where she currently lived with her two daughters.

Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Heather knew how big her heart was. Many in the Lakes Region area have maybe gotten a haircut by her over the years or had a chance to know her through her work with the Farnum Sobriety House. She gave inspirational speeches about recovery and help to the homeless community in the Lakes Region area. Through her struggles she found peace in helping others overcome their demons.

Heather grew up mostly in the Sandwich, Meredith, Laconia and Concord area, but had just moved her and her daughters to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, last December, fulfilling the girls' collective lifelong dream of living by the beach where the sun was always shining and the snow rarely came. A talented hairdresser, she was as well as an excellent bartender who could get anyone who sat on her barstool to share their life story. She had a warm heart that made people open up to her, and she had an ability to accept people for who they were and where they were at in life with no judgement.

Heather is survived by her mother and father, Steven and Vicki Davis, longtime residents of Sandwich, now of Brownfield, Maine; her sister, Gretchen Brown and family Douglas and Makya Brown of Brownfield, Maine; as well as her daughters, Jordan Cilley and Jozie Horne of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

There will be a celebration of life in Meredith, in the spring when her daughters can travel home. We will announce as soon as details are finalized so anyone who knew her and loved her can come gather with us all and celebrate the beautiful life she lived.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate to the GoFundMe account for Heather's daughters as they navigate life without their mother: gofund.me/70b3240ed.
